Doubt

Part of the following chapter Sun Fuchun's Chronicle #6
A disquiet heart's lament.

I came to this place to restore the balance, and yet now I am forced to consider the unthinkable… It may be that in order to fight the Corruption, perhaps the greatest threat to the flow of the Dao here on Aeternum, we must make a sacrifice of the natural world here. My heart is weary with even the consideration of such blasphemy. I feel the anguish of the healer, hot knife poised to sever a tainted limb from the patient, in the hope of preventing it from spreading its poison to the rest of the host body. For I know that if the weapons of the Crimson Sorcerer were to fall into the hands of the Corruption’s chosen, they might truly be unstoppable. Perhaps I must place my faith in the hero that has led us this far, and hold fast to the notion that if they truly believe this is our only route to victory, then it truly must be done. Time will tell, and history will no doubt make its judgment.
